Sustainable visitor charter

Please help us to reduce the ss Great Britain Trust’s carbon footprint:

  1. Conserve energy
    Please close doors behind you, when visiting the Dry Dock, Dockyard Museum and the ss Great Britain. After use, please press the button once to turn off hand dryers.

  2. Give the car a rest
    Please consider public transport when planning your day out. Brunel’s ss Great Britain is accessible on foot, by bus or ferry with connections to the railway station.  There are also cycle racks by the ticket office. Please ask coach drivers to switch off engines. Find out more about how to find us

  3. Reduce, reuse, recycle
    Please try to recycle any waste and say ‘no’ to plastic carrier bags. Why not buy a ‘Ship Shape & Bristol Fashion’ fabric bag from the gift shop!

  4. Be water-wise
    Please use water carefully. 

  5. Respect Brunel’s ss Great Britain and its environment
    Please help look after the ss Great Britain and the Great Western Dockyard by using the bins provided.

  6. Smoke-free zone
    Brunel’s ss Great Britain is smoke-free. Fire is one of the ship’s greatest threats. 

  7. Support green tourism businesses
    Please see www.green-business.co.uk for information on businesses reducing their environmental impact through the Green Tourism Business Scheme.
